Waay31's breken terry joins us live after speaking with the university and students, breken?

The university said after thanksgiving there are only seven academic days left in the semester and rather than having everyone back on campus after the holiday the university decided there won't be any in person classes until january.

Hensley- i've had online classes before.

I don't think it's going to be any different from then it's just going to be i'm not on campus at this point.

Una student jamie hensley said having the rest of her semester online along with finals isn't a big deal but the coronavirus has affected what classes the aspiring teacher takes this year.

Hensley- i've just completely avoided taking my education classes as a secondary major.

I also have to major in social science as well so i'm trying to complete it.

Hopefully, i'm hoping by next semester or the semester after next they will have more functionality with it.

Una spokesperson michelle eubanks said students who live on campus will still get to do so.

Eubanks= all of the student services the library, the student success center, the main market, all of the resources that they depend upon will still be open and available until the traditional close of campus for holiday break.

Una reported 27 new cases of coronavirus this week.

Since august 19th the campus community has had 238.

Eubanks said that's a slight up tick in cases but not the reason they are going online only after thanksgiving break.

Eubanks- when we looked at the calendar there were seven academic days left and so it made sense that we would not want them to come back as it were to the classroom.

Right now the spring semester for students will start mid january and will be in person classes.

The university's coronavirus task force is constantly monitoring the covid situation here on campus.
